The bitterness and joy of web design

Design | Web page design things are contradictory unity, suffering and music is a pair of interdependent and mutually independent contradictions. As people often say, "No bitterness, no sweetness." ", in the process of Web page production, I feel particularly obvious, engaged in web production for two years, from a Web page ignorant to now a little gain, this has undergone a long period of bitter and music interwoven process. This period of time alone to explore the road, let a person think up, a lot of aftertaste.

In just entering the threshold of this web site, is a learning process from scratch, of course, inevitably is a painful process, every day to face a lot of new terms, such as hyperlinks, Ip,url and so on, let me not headache, but only to bite the bullet into this strange world.

First contact with the first problem is from the graphic design to the web design of a change, because the graphic design reflects the general relatively single theme. and web design is often a whole, so to use a holistic thinking to solve the problem, so the design process is a very bitter process, step-by-step in accordance with the idea of a unified design, the first collection of information is not a worry, because it involves the selection of information, the full analysis of the requirements of the website, Use the existing information, discard irrelevant, and then use the existing means to find some of their own information. Also try to unify them by design and find their harmonic points. This design the basic style of the page, and then to the specific color of the page, picture text configuration, button style and layout methods and so on. From big to small, from coarse to fine ..., when you complete a Web page is particularly so, so many cumbersome problems can only be described in one word, is "bitter." Not only that, but also through a repeated revision of the process of finalization, from hand-drawn sketches to the implementation of the software, not very well implemented, to modify the sketch, so repeated. or a number of sketches to choose the best to make, so many. In the course of this transformation, we constantly find a harmonic point in the reality of graphic design and web design, and build a bridge between the two. Too much effort has been devoted to this. The initial harvest is very small, because of software limitations. Web application software is severely constrained by its own play.

For application software that uses Web pages. I still have a more painful experience. Supposedly I have a lot of graphic design applications to use. The use of web software is relatively easy to find. But also encountered a lot of problems, remember in the original learning Frontpage98, once let me feel very inconvenient, is because I use the general drawing software such as Photoshop and Corldraw, in the drag picture or text are very casual, want to put to where can be, It will not be the form of text editing, as in FrontPage, and it feels very restrictive and restrained everywhere. Of course, I have to learn to use the table, which added to my painful memory, especially the control of the table, because of the adjacent pictures or text or forms of influence, sometimes can not achieve their own purposes, and then in the form Riga form, so that the table outside the more difficult to control. Most of the time not only can not line up, or even make a mess of the screen, their own brain bloated. 　　Good want to give up ... But once beyond this stage, you will feel the pleasure of making a fly, after the design, look at the two eyes can know how to use the table or other ways, the use of some typesetting skills, easy to complete the task, full of self-confidence of this feeling is a happy, experienced a painful exploration after the sense of accomplishment.

Again, such as the use of pictures, when the picture moved to the Web page, although it may be handled by the picture itself is very beautiful, but have to pain it with software compression, cutting, some very good details have to give up, that kind of leave the feeling fresh. At the same time, the lack of software such as firework and imageready, so the image of cutting and hard to wear is particularly difficult, the first is cutting, to use Photoshop or PhotoImpact and so on, but this is particularly troublesome. Just like Photoshop, want to cut into a lot of parts although you can through a number of ways, but have to make different small files, through the auxiliary line, so that alignment is a more annoying thing, more annoying is in the Web software alignment, using the form to align, it is too troublesome. A lot of pictures, sometimes because a picture is not allowed to all of them will not coordinate. So when you tune that picture, it's really far-reaching, and the whole thing is going to be a complete page that will become crooked. And because the cut of the picture is divided into different files, storage time will inevitably be so compression than the same, so put on the Web page some color would have been a good combination, it will become different. All these problems, entangled together, so in the process of learning I experienced a long and painful process, which is certainly a process of refining, is a continuous accumulation of experience in the process. Continuous experience, and constantly to learn from the book, at the same time, I often surf the internet to learn from BBS users. Make me benefit.

Along with the application of Web pages and graphics upgrades, it is now easy to implement as a result of technology advances, such as DHTML and XML upgrades, many special effects on the Web, easy to achieve, and more importantly, my experience of doing web pages accumulated, and feedback to the new work, I continue to experience the joy of doing web pages. Can be in the Web page typesetting to adjust to achieve their own goals, plus can freely according to their own hobbies or according to the advantages and disadvantages of software to choose web Software. I can be more skilled to get rid of the shackles of software, more energy into the design of the Web page to make. To perfect their own design. How delightful it is to be able to soar freely in the world you like! I found myself completely in love with the job. 　　Not only as a work, but as a way of expressing your will, you can express some of your own design ideas. Sometimes complain that they can not find the feeling, but as long as do more, feel contact with the Web page will have a lot of ideas, after a reasonable choice, do the Web page is very easy. It is: "Reading a book, who reads tremendously." I think in this long search process, I lost a lot, but I get more. The experience of bitter music, the end is happy, perhaps always accompanied by bitterness, but I still like this full of passion, as a football game, light is not true, only to experience the great sorrow after the victory, is unforgettable, I like this experience.
